Facebook Abuse

[Liuzzo]

Ok, for those of you using the social network site Facebook do you find yourself running into these fucking people? Thousands of worthless quizzes and requests for nails and other dumb shit? Or please cut and paste this annoying announcement about how much you love your cat because it's the greatest in the world *hearts hearts hearts* ? They usually come from people you wonder why they friend requested you in the first place never to connect at all. Really, I think most of us joined the site to stay connected to our friends (most of mine stretched all over the US and internationally) who coincidentally never send us any of the aforementioned items. They're not retarded that's why we like them. The video is funny and how do you deal with people who post this annoying drivel? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLefo0fn96o

I just ignore it. And I don't friend anyone who isn't someone I already know or a friend of a friend, and even those not so much.

[Barringtonia]

Yeah, you can actually click something like 'ignore these types of requests' with any application or 'Poke' etc.,

The one that intrigues me, though not enough to play it, is Farmville, I suspect that shit is heroin to the brain because seemingly intelligent people are constantly gifting carrots or finding eggs or whatever to other people,

I only use FB for posting updates and photos, mostly where I am and where I've been stuff so everyone has an easy means of knowing whether I'm here, there or wherever though, of course...

No matter where you go, here you are,

Right but if you're doing the friend of a friend thing you're bound to get these people. How many times are you going to get TGIF or some other lame ass form tomorrow? "Why haven't you commented on my post?" Me: That you're happy it's Friday? I did not know this was something that needed a response. Are you asking me just to confirm that Friday is a good day for you? Yes, Friday is a swell day.

Yes Farmville sucks them in. My friend the wicked hot doctor is an addict to it and tricked hubby into it too. It's an across the board killer.

[Disco Tetris]

I generally just ignore them. I have three year old announcements about pokes I still haven't responded to. I'm thinking of deactivating my account, as I don't really use it anymore.

[Queen Firebreath]

i ignore ppl i dont no. i only joined facebook 2 stay connected with friends, because they're all over the country now. i ignore all that "copy and paste this here if ur my friend, if u dont ur not my friend" stuff bcuz its just usless text

[The Imperial Navy]

My facebook is private, and I only add people I know. That said, I hardly even use my facebook any more...

[Imsogone]

Playing FB games - not so bad, though when I get bored with a game (and I get bored with FB games pretty easily) I find that people keep trying to draw me back in - that's annoying. So are all the invitations to join causes and become a fan of something or other.

Something for the annoying things thread methinks. Endless invites to crap. Drives me nuts. I put messages on my board, saying don't send me the damn stuff, and it just keeps comming.

[Mad hatters in jeans]

I DEAT THEM. then laugh at their puny attempts to friend me again.

[Lackadaisical2]

I love the part where he explains that he has facebook to keep tabs on ex-girlfriends (and that they're all having better lives than him).

[Imsogone]

There are a few I'd like to DEAT. I haven't yet found the function - where is it? Tell me, please.

[Saint Jade IV]

I get really, really annoyed by people I don't know asking to add me as a friend. Like, seriously, why would I even want someone I've never met and have no connections with reading my facebook?

That said, when I moved out here (the Outback), facebook really helped me to stay connected and in touch with friends that I was used to seeing every day. It helped me to stay in the loop and involved through being able to send photos and chatting and talking with them.

Um... I believe go to their profile page, scroll down to the bottom, and on the left hand side there should be some text that links to it.

[The Archiepelago]

I just ignore a lot of people who requet me if I message them "who are yo" and no response. And other than that I don't have any problems with people at all.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

All those pokes and app/page invites were the main reasons I quit Facebook recently.

Sort of rude, since people should have freedom of expression(talking about video).

[The Imperial Navy]

Having been reminded, I just did some pruning of my Facebook. Removed people I don't need there anymore.

[Chrobalta]

Well I know what my new Facebook status is going to be...

[Ifreann]

Someone needs a blog.

Go to profile page, view all friends. Then click on the big X on the right hand side of their profile name. rinse and repeat for better results. deat them all. muhahaha

My "friends" list doesn't give me an X. I need to eliminate some people. I use Facebook to keep track of art colleagues mostly, but the ones who just spam up my wall with personal stuff or too many ads for their projects, I just hide. There are some second-degree-of-separation people I want off my list altogether, as I'm never going to work with them.

EDIT: I finally found the X's. Hidden under my account menu with the "edit friends" thing. Off-loaded some nobodies, and added a long-lost uncle. Spring cleaning.

[Tahar Joblis]

how do you deal with people who post this annoying drivel?

Adjusting settings appropriately. Voila, no more drivel.

"Ignore all invites from this friend," for example. Generate a set of different user groups and put all the ones you don't want to hear from on the more limited ones.

[Liuzzo]

They always return. You delete or ignore and then suddenly a new crop pops up. Like weeds!

I played Farmville for awhile. One day I realized that if my grandparents---two of them born to farmers---or my great-grandparents---all of them born to farmers---could see me using a computer to pretend to do the same work they broke their backs at, they'd rightfully kick my ass.
